Slovakia - December 2025

On 17 December, the Constitutional Court provisionally suspended a law passed on 9 December that would abolish the Office for the Protection of Whistleblowers (UOO) and would significantly reduce whistleblower protections. The law, which sparked nationwide protests against the ruling coalition, was due to take effect on 1 January 2026 and would have replaced the UOO with a new office under direct government control. The UOO and existing whistleblower protections will remain in force until the Court issues a final ruling following a full review of the law.
